2002 "The Palace Thief"

From the soon-to-be-released movie Down: “Ed plays the Millennium Building’s manager, Mr. Milligan, whose main objective is to maintain a steady influx of tourists at any cost. His character is not one given to stress, but after three strange elevator-related accidents...even he can’t hide the perspiration. The early tension during production was shattered the moment Ed Herrmann arrived on set. His blasé and humorous manner was infectious and the crew quickly relaxed, which is evident in the scenes in which he performs.”

On Broadway, Herrmann won a Tony Award for "Mrs. Warren's Profession" and was nominated for "The Philadelphia Story." He's also starred in "Life Sentences" at New York's Second Stage Theatre, "The Three Sisters" at the McCarter Theatre, "Love Letters" at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre, and in London, "A Walk in the Woods" and "Tom and Viv." Herrmann also starred in the original production of Neil Simon's "The Dinner Party" at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles (photo left).
